I've noticed also that since being diagnosed about 6 wks. ago with IBS I initially lost about 10 lbs. and it seems difficult to put it back on, but I'm not worrying about it because I am feeling so much better than before the diagnosis, thanks to Heather's diet, the acacia, and all of the help on the message boards. It is hard for me though to keep from getting hungry, seems like I eat and in a couple of hrs. I'm hungry again. I'm sure a lot of this is just because I'm trying to get used to eating properly, still learning what triggers my gut, and of course, I never ate properly before. This IBS has really taught me a lesson--you need to take care of yourself. I still have so much to learn. But everyday is a new day. I have to hang in there. I admire you IBSers who have finally gotten yourselves stabilized. I hope to be able to say that one day. Sorry for getting so far off the subject--but I was overjoyed to get back in my jeans this past weekend that I hadn't worn for 3 years!!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!
